Friends, fundamentally things could not be looking any better for Ethereum.
The good news goes on & on - as I have not even gone over ZK Rollups, Scaling, Sharding etc.
Scarcity + Demand = Prices Rising
So what does all this mean fundamentally? Due to the burning mechanism in the protocol - with heavier adoption their is more burn. More burn means more scarcity. Inflation increases supply, this protocol decreases the supply through swaps. With central banks and 9 TRILLION moved on chain from USDC alone (not even accounting for DAI, USDT, or BUSD - the Binance stable coin is a also an ERC-20 token) adoption is rising We will see more stable coins continuing to increase adoption resulting in more eth burning.
When it comes to price:
Deflation>Inflation
Adoption is growing on this network. There is real value, there is real TVL.
Since the merge...
-->BTC Supply GREW by 110 BTC ($2.5B)
--> ETH Supply SHRUNK by 2,830 ETH ($4.5M)

- Multiple Central Banks are now building on Ethereum infrastructure. (1)(2)(3)
- Treasury Tokenization thanks to Blackrock (will increase TVL) (4)

- Additional stable coins to follow!
- Uniswap entering the FX market, slashing costs by a projected 80%! (6)
- European Investment Bank (EIB) launches successful digital bond on Ethereum Blockchain (7)
- Ethereum crossing over 100 million unique wallets (8)
- Ethereum has more developers working on it then any other chain, with 16% of all new entrants building on ETH
- Ethereum validators surged to 500,000! Shanghai upgrade is not even out yet.
- The ETH protocol is not censor resistant, so while there are many OFAC-compliant blocks- validators are not forced to comply.
- ETH is ESG Friendly, while Bloomberg warns Bitcoin is still being powered by China Coal (bad optics with energy prices in Europe recently) (9)
- ETH is deflationary (Bitcoin & the USD are INFLATIONARY) (10)

Bitcoin/Ethereum Commentary
- I have had angry direct messages in the past advising how Bitcoin is PROTECTION against inflation, how could it inflate if the supply is capped?
- Even with a capped supply that will be targeted in 140 years (generations) the BTC inflation rate is +1.716%/year.
- To make the situation graver - the miners create constant selling pressure powering the energy intensive network, coupled with physical hardware that has to be purchased & maintained. This equates to costs.
- To pay for costs, miners must sell bitcoin to keep the network safe - creating constant selling pressure.
